I just read every word.
I've been watching this on CNN, other news channels, and of course the web, but nothing has touched me as deeply as this. It really brought it home, you could say. When Robb mentioned the map, and that this was only one small place, it made it clear how devastating this event truly was.
It amazes me how resiliant people can be. I've been to those areas and I know a few Thai people. I always knew they were strong and had incredible spirit.
Thanks to people like Robb and Som, and the many relief workers, such as those depicted in Robb's accounting, the people affected by this have a better chance at recovering from this disaster. Thanks to those who donated - it's your graciousness that allows people like Robb to do what they do.
I've got two tears in my eyes. One out of sorrow for those who lost so, so much, and one of admiration and respect for the selfless, truly altruistic actions of the people that are helping those in need. I am truly moved by this.
